Boscombe Pier

**Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** **Peaceful stay with great amenities and service** I had a lovely stay at MacDonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa. It’s located in a quiet, green area, which makes it perfect for a relaxing break. The hotel offers great leisure facilities—there’s a pool, squash courts, massage services, a sauna, and even a dance room, which really add to the experience. The lounge area is spacious and cozy, everything was clean, and the staff were truly excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Parking was easy, and the prices felt fair for what you get. There are a few things to be aware of: the heating system is a bit old and can be noisy, and both the furniture and electronics could use some updating. Also, not all rooms have a fridge, which would be useful. Overall, though, this is a great place to unwind. With a few updates, it could easily be a 5-star experience. I'd happily return!
